EU raises questions about Israeli troops proportionate use of force in Gaza
Shares
The European Union has raised questions about whether Israeli troops used "proportionate use of force" in the latest border clashes with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the European External Action Service stressed that Israeli live fire killed at least nine Palestinians and hurt hundreds more.
It called for clarification of Israeli military reports that Palestinians stoned and firebombed their positions and tried to cross the fence into Israel on Friday.
The EU also called for enabling medical equipment to be delivered quickly to those in need and avoiding any further clashes and loss of life. APP/AFP
